biEthan’s /i/bbiPOV/i/bbi: /i/b

I watched Granger squirm around to find an answer, or better yet find a lie to tell. He already knew she wasn’ting as did I. Suddenly, his VP Edward nervously walked over.

i“/iChairman iTaylor/i, ia /iipleasure /iiyour /iibeing-/i”

Ethan cut Edward off. He was no longer in the mood for this i“/iilighthearted/ii” /iconversation. Enough time had already passed.

“Well iChairman/ii, /iilet’s /iihear /iiit/i. iWhere’s /iira/ii?/ii” /i

Sophie’s eyes began to burn with hatred; tonight was her big night and all they cared about was that stupid girl! What the hell was so special about her! Masking her emotions, Sophie walked up and ced her hand on Ethan’s shoulder.

“iChairman /iiTaylor/i, imy /iifather /iiinformed us /iiyou /iiwould /iilike /iito /iiwork /iiwith /iiJGP/ii, /iiwe’re /iiall /iso iexcited/ii! /iiI’m /iiafraid /iimy /iisister /iicouldn’t /iimake /iiit /iithis /iievening/ii, /iihowever/i. iYou /iisee /iishe’s /iie /iidown /iiwith the /iiflu/ii./ii” /i

Ethan looked at Sophie as if she were something filthy. Moving his shoulder so that she could no longer touch him, he took a step back. Owen then handed him a wipe to clean his shoulder. Sophie nearly screamed.

i“/iiThat /iifucking /iiprick/ii! /iiIs /iihe /iiinsinuating /iithat /iiI’m /iidirty/ii!/ii‘ /i

Owen nced at Sophie.

“Ms. Granger, iplease /iireframe /iifrom /iitouching /iithe /iichairman/i, ihe /idoesn’t ilike /ithe idea iof /igerms being spread.i” /i

Once again, masking her emotionsb, /bSophie forced a smile. fnd489 Find the newest release on Find1Novel/fnd489

i“/iMy apologies. I understand iChairman/i. Well, as you all can see, my isister /iwill not be joining us this evening, Please continue to ienjoy /ithe gi./ii” /i

Without so much as ncing at Sophie, Ethan began to speak.

“I’m disappointed Granger. iI /iwas told ira /iiwould /iibe /iherei; /ishe’s the ionly /ireason I woulde to something like this. You and your iVP /iassured me she’d be here.”

Jameson grew nervous, he knew this would be problem. i“/iiThis /iis all that damn igirl’s /ifaulti!/i‘ He

began to seethe inwardly making sure Ethan wouldn’t notice. Edward finally spoke in a low unconvincing tone.

i“/iiChairman /iiTaylor/ii, /iI’m isure /iiyou’re /iidisappointed /iias /iiall /iiof /iius/ii. /iiHowever/i, ias /iiJameson /iistated/ii, /iira /iiis /iiunwell/i. iSurly /iishe /iwouldn’t ibe /iiin /iithe /imood ifor /iia /iig/ii./ii” /i

Ethan smirked, a thought instantly popping in his head.

i“/iiThen /iicall /iiher/ii./ii” /i

Jameson nearly gagged.

“iWhat/ii!/ii” /i

i“/iiYou /iiheard /iime/i. iCall /iiher/i. iIf /iishe’s /iisick /iishould /iishe /iibe /iiat /iihome /iicorrect/ii? /iiThen /iiwhy /iidon’t /iiyou /iicall /iiher/ii./ii” /i

Before Jameson could panic, a sudden thought popped into his head, he knew there was no way ra would answer her phone for him; he could use that as a way to further prove she was sick. With a smug smile, Jameson pulled out his phone.

i“Fine /iichairman/i, iI’ll /iicall /iimy /iidaughter/ii./ii” /i

After one ring, ra’s voicemail answered.

“iHey/ii, /iiyou’ve /iireached /iira/ii, /iisorry /iiI /iican’t /iie /iito /iithe phone /iiright /inow so iplease /iileave a /iimessage/i.”

Jameson clicked his phone, a smile triumphed on his face.

“As you ican /isee iChairman /iiTaylor/i, imy /iidaughter /iiis /iitoo /iisick /ito ieven answer /iithe /iiphone/ii. /iiI /itruly idon’t /iappreciate iyou-/i”

Before Jameson could finish however, Ethan pulled out his phone and dialed a number. After

two rings a woman answered.

It was ra,

“Hello, this is rai,/ii” /i

Gasps irrupted throughout the crowd.

There was a lightness in ra’s voice that made Ethan’s heart flutter with an emotion he wasn’t familiar with. In a soothing tone, he began to speak.

“iHello /iira/ii, /iI just wanted to imake /isure iyou /iiwere /ienjoying iyour /iiupgrade/ii./ii” /i

Silence followed by a giggle.

“Oh, imy /iigoodness/ii! /iiYes/ii! I’ve /iinever /iibeen /iion /iia /iiprivate /iijet /ibeforei! /iiThis /iiis /iiso /iamazing!”

Ethan could feel his heart pounding at the sound of her voice. In a smiling tone he spoke.

i“/iiI’m /iid /ito ihear /iithat/ii. /iiI /iijust /iiwanted /iito /iimake /iisure /iiyou /iiwere /iwell. iHave /iia /iisafe /iiflight/i.i” /i

There was a slight pause on the line as if neither of them wanted to hang up. Right as Ethan was going to press the end button, ra screamed wait. Not wanting to give too much away, Ethan took the phone off speaker.

i“/iiHow /iican /iiI /iihelp /iiyou /iiMs. /iira/ii?/ii” /i

Silence.

i“/iiCan /iiI /iiat /iileast /iiknow /iiwho /iimy /iibenefactor /iof ithis /iimarvelous /iijet /iiis/ii?/i”

Ethan slightly blushed.

“iIn /iidue /iiMs. /iiRouleau/ii./ii” /i

ra gasped slightly. i‘/iiHow /iidid /iihe /iiknow /iiI /iiwas /iigoing /iiby Rouleau/ii?/ii‘/i, but instead of asking, she smiled and whispered,
